Bringing back the PC crowd

Going back to the times when PC shooters ruled the roost

The console focused Bad Company sub series may have left a bad taste in the mouths of PC gaming Battlefield fans, but BF3 shows that they have certainly not been forgotten. Whereas other previously PC only series have since abandoned the fans that made their fortunes, Battlefield 3 is being developed with PC as the lead system. Expect a fresh and trouble-free PC gaming experience, and not the rushed, ported crap that PC players seem to be subjected to these days.

Affecting sound effects

A rocket launcher won't exactly fire silently, now will it?

How many games can you think of where the audio just seems to be going on in the background without any real impact? Lost count yet? BF3 seems adamant to not fit into this category, with many suspense creating effects such as camera shakes, rumble and other features being set off by the in-game sound effects. It sounds like it will add to the game’s immersion and, when it comes to the suspension of disbelief, every little helps.

Big scale multiplayer

It just wouldn't be Battlefield without the massive maps

With so many shooters with so many multiplayer modes available on the market, what innovation can be achieved these days? Thankfully for the Battlefield franchise, it is one of the premier experiences of large scale multiplayer. Expect some seriously large maps with up to 64 player support on PC. Read that back to yourself. That’s a big number. Consoles will still offer 24 player, but we all know that the PC is where it’s at.

A battle on all fronts

Tanks and infantry: The perfect combo

With such large scale environments and maps on offer, it would be a real shame if you were restricted to walking from A to B. It’s a good thing then that Battlefield 3 looks set to have us covered. The transport trucks, tanks and helicopters we know and love are sure to appear, but the fighter jets of older BF games will be included as well. If all you’ve experienced of Battlefield are the Bad Company games, get ready to be amazed.
